Can you guy's throw in tan() and arctan() to BYOND v4.0? I know that we can make do with cos() and sin(), but I really find this annoying since I write things out in my head and have to work around them when I put it on screen.

You can just search the forums :P. For arctan() There are already a few implementations in vairous posts. tan() is simple enough just cos()/sin(). Yeah, I got a good arctan() from something Lummox JR posted, I also made my own tan(). It's still something that should be included. | |

tan = sine/cosine
cotan = cosine/sine arcfunctions are easy, they're 1/function (or is that inverse, or are arc and inverse the same?) or it might be arcfunction = function ^ -1? hell i barely remember trig, but thats what reference tables are for. all that really matters is that you can form all of the trigonometric functions using the two provided and simple algebra. | |
The arcfunction is the inverse, but neither is 1/function.
csc(x) = 1/sin(x) sec(x) = 1/cos(x) cot(x) = 1/tan(x) = cos(x)/sin(x) Lummox JR | |
